08 Nov 2022 --- A cross-party UK committee is calling on the UK government to ban plastic waste exports entirely by the end of 2027. The call comes as part of a recent report by the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee on the country’s plastic waste failures and how the government and industry can tackle them. The report makes a number of recommendations, including expediting the rollout of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), creating a task force to investigate reuse and refill schemes, encouraging the use of the waste hierarchy concept, and spending money raised by EPR on building recycling infrastructure.
